    I'm not so sure about Young. I wonder if people may be basing that on his win over Foreman, which was right before George decided God didn't want him fighting?

    Young got knocked silly by Shavers and later stopped by Cooney. Early in his career and late in his career. I rate Liston over both of those guys.

    My balls have a better chance of turning into egg yolks than Jimmy Young does of beating Sonny Liston.

    I would poison his eyes with a chemical substance on my gloves to blind him so that I could render him all but defenseless. Then, when that fails, I would do a Vitali in the corner on my stool. No, wait, sorry. That's something else. Forget I said anything. I got confused.

    One year intensive training camp, burn fat, gain like 10 pounds of muscles (that would make me 6'1 ft tall, about 210 pounds), mega conditioning.

    Come fight night - dancing around him, jumping in trying to land stiff jabs, possibly 1-2's, jumping out, grabbing when it gets heated on the inside, sometimes trying to counter then immediately create distance again. If I could have his respect for my power, later I would try to land some hooks or overhand rights, slightly engage in exchanges trying to win them with speed and reflexes. If I couldn't gain his respect for my power, I'd try to jab-grab-run all night.

    I'd become a prime Muhammad Ali.
